Urban Bicycle Commuting on NPR, Sunday, May 20th

Just an fyi. Tomorrow morning, on NPR's Weekend Edition show, they will have a story on what it takes to be an urban bicycle commuter.

I'll post a link to the story when it appears on their website.

Arrggh! I recently moved to a place that is out of the reach of NPR and it's driving me CRAZY! I never thought this would happen. How am I supposed to sip my morning tea with NPR news now?

I just needed to vent for a moment, and I look forward to that link.

THAT definitely sucks. I would freak out without my daily dose of Terry Gross . You can always listen online here though. They also have been very good about putting out podcasts of their shows if you have an MP3 player.

To the OP, thanks for the heads up.

Hey, if you have internet access (and it appears that you do), you can listen to most if not all of NPR content at https://www.npr.org.

npr.org delays shows until they've broadcast on most stations. But most public radio stations have streams; I live in DC (www.wamu.org) but often listen to npr streams from Chicago (www.wbez.org) or SoCal (www.kpcc.org) to hear a show a couple hours before or after it broadcasts in DC...
